The road warrior adventure was getting to our peaceful, classical colonial hotel in Cuernavaca as well as to our world heritage site 16th century convent turned hotel. Delicious pollo asado at a roadside drum grill. The treat has been the Oaxaca zocalo with its musical cacophony and balcony view of a local costume parade. It is so much fun being swept up by the moment! We reminisced about past trips to Oaxaca – for me, the first with my family when the kids were 11 & 13; then with my older brother on motorcycles; then with my nephew Evan, again on motorcycles; and now the brother Steve. Se we called Evan—Joy! Joy! Felix! Felix!
Notes:
It is now necessary to show one’s ID (passport for us) to exchange $$ into pesos. The information page is xeroxed and kept with the exchange file. It was easier to go to an ATM where big brother is automatic.
I refuse to pay for wireless connections – economy & mid range hotels provide it free, high end hotels “have various plans” one can purchase. It is like the pusillanimous rip off of hotel calls of old. Cell phones killed that. Maybe PCs of the future will contain their own wi-fi.
The Mexican people are very friendly and polite.
